Our Curriculum

Our Curriculum aims

At Beaches Pre School our curriculum is focused and centred around the individual child. We aim to embrace the interests of the children and be responsive to their curiosity and thinking. Our free flow indoor/outdoor approach allows children the freedom to make choices and be an advocate of their own learning.

We hold high value towards the natural environment, this reflects within the vision of our setting and has been a key factor in the development of our curriculum. Children are given the opportunity to explore, appreciate and understand the natural world, take and manage risks and ultimately develop a love for the outdoors.

Practitioners are facilitators to children’s learning, their role is to observe, support & extend learning, offer meaningful opportunities and experiences whilst listening to the child and tuning in to their needs and interests.

Assessments

All children will have a baseline assessment on entry to Pre-School to determine their starting point. Two year assessments will be carried out for any child that joins us before they turn 3. These may be in the form of an integrated check with a health visitor. A transition report will be shared with the childs allocated school when leaving Beaches to start their journey into reception.
